Remember, you don't have to use a Whimsy image on your challenge creation (although it would be great if you did!). Also, your entry doesn't have to be a card - we welcome all paper projects!

For this card I have used a sentiment from the 'Family Forever' set designed by Denise Lynn for the Whimsy Sentiments Collection, available at Whimsy Stamps.

The tree and sentiment are stamped in Memento Cocoa ink, and then sponged around with Memento Dew Drop 'Summer Sky' and 'New Sprout'. I framed the image tree with a lacy circle die, and trimmed a border around the sentiment.

The papers are from the Graphic 45 'Time to Flourish' 8x8 paper pad, and I used lace and pearls to finish.

The image is stamped in Memento Tuxedo ink, coloured with Copic markers, and fussy cut The papers are Lili of the Valley / Nitwits Collections 'Bonnets & Bowties' 8 x 8 papers, and all the edges inked with Distress Ink 'Antique Linen'.

I added a piece of Guipure Lace and pink grosgrain ribbon across the card, and double-mounted the image onto a Nestabilities Decorative Bliss Oval. I popped the sentiment onto a flower, added a bow

I popped the sentiment up on a flower, and finally added several Wild Orchid Craft flowers, a bow and pearls to finish.

I have another Whimsy Stamps card today using a sentiment from the To Have and To Hold set designed by Denise Lynn for the Whimsy Sentiments Collection. I love these sweet oval sentiment frames, so decided to make it the feature of my card, but of course it would work perfectly with an image too.

The sentiment is stamped in Memento Tuxedo ink, and coloured with Copic markers. I then fussy cut around it and layered it onto my card.

The papers are from the pretty Paper Garden Projects 'Garden of Life' digital kit, and the ribbon and flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

For today's card I have used this new image from Art by Mi Ran called 'Asian Beauty', which you can find at Whimsy Stamps. Its very different from anything I've ever done before, so it was a lot of fun and a real challenge. :)

The image was stamped with Memento ink, and coloured with Copic markers.

The papers are from a Sweet Shoppe Designs digital kit, and I finished with roses from Wild Orchid Crafts.

After making a card base with layers of 'Christmas Spirit - Comfort & Joy' digital papers from Sweet Shoppe Designs, I created 3 bows from dark brown embroidery cotton. I adhered these to the top of the card, and stamped the 'Winter Brackets' Sentiment at the bottom.

I die-cut the Mittens Border once from each pattern paper, trimmed a pair from each set, and adhered them from each bow.

Today
the Whimsy DT members are hosting a friendship hop in honor of a
special member of the Whimsy Stamps family, Simonne Clay! Simonne has
been a fixture here at Whimsy for many years and we all just wanted to
show our appreciation for all that she does for each of us and for
sharing her amazing talent as an illustrator. :)

I wanted to use one of Simonne's own stamps, so I used her fabulous 'Chalkboards 2' sentiment set, available at the Whimsy Stamps store. This would be one of my absolute fave go-to birthday and friendship card stamp sets!

The papers are from Kaisercraft 'Storyteller', and I used a Nestabilities Decorative Labels 8 to frame the sentiment.

Thank you so much for all you do for us Simonne! And hope you are loving the love!! {{{HUGS!!}}}

And now it's time to continue with the Friendship Hop in honour of our sweet Simonne...
